otential terrorist investigation. federal agents are working with the boston police to find those responsible. is a vast law enforcement operation. >> there's no suspect in custody. e are questioning many but there is no one in custody at this point in time. > but the police search for forensic evidence, hospitals in boston are taking in the wounded. >> we are seeing a lot of hrapnel injuries, many of them involve predominantly lower extremities but they can affect body.tire >> instead of comparing race trading congratulations, the runners are n shock of this attack on the marathon they hold to dear. a traumatic day for those who witnessed the xplosions and also the aftermath. one was working here in boston what it was like to be knocked to the ground by

specifically to my left-hand than maybe 30less feet from the explosion itself. to e was an equipment tent my left and scaffolding lift it in front of it where my colleagues were maybe two eet in front of that taking pictures of the racers as they crossed the line. thankfully i was not injured severely like that. boston rs in the marathon have row counted what it was like -- recounted the the explosions hit. >> about four minutes after we crossed the finish line the bomb went off. if we ran our qualifying time we right at the n bomb. we were literally about 200 yards from the bomb when it went off. it was really eerie. >> we actually stopped for a just to kind of collect ourselves and then heard the bomb and looked behind us. there was a second within and we knew it was a bomb and everyone

run. you need to so everybody started running. they werehe bomb hit, 10 and 15 deep. they were families, fans, end and itu near the was really loud. it was deafeningly loud. cheering like it was their job and unfortunately they that got injured so badly. >> my mother-in-law called and let us about mile 19 and know. she was in the bleachers when it went off. we were asking folks on the officials who had not had word. at 21 they stopped us and there of yellow jackets. > the implications are just sinking in. in new york where the scene of the 9/11 terrorist attacks where has long been stepped up, in that city the former new police chief said he was shocked when he heard had had

happened. the challenge is one. nobody has claimed responsibility or if they have have not disclosed it at the moment. in america, there is no shortage have issues with government and have issues with of thin. as it an al qaeda sponsored event or home grown activists? idea.s stage they have no contact with my colleagues back in the states they don't have behind this.was >> raising the question there asking.erybody is law enforcement officials have noted that this is traditionally grown extremists in america to make some kind of protest against the government. 15 is the day for filing taxes often a flash point that who don't like the reach of the federal government and coming up on the anniversary of bombing in city massacre and bine
